  • New Park Blooms Below Briarcliff Bridge by Sally Sears
    June 2021 Volume 36 | Number 2 CONTENTS 2021 Legislative Update 6 Meet DHCA’s Board 10 Surviving Spring Break 26 Create Pollinator Friendly Yard 29 New Park Blooms Below Briarcliff Bridge By Sally Sears Druid Hills neighbors driving on the Briarcliff Road Bridge across the South Fork of Peachtree Creek will soon see two acres of new parkland taking shape below, the first new park in Druid Hills in several years. The purchase of the property by DeKalb County earlier this year was led by DeKalb County Commissioner Jeff Rader. The county’s Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Affairs is now clearing the kudzu and invasive privet from the two-plus acres of flood plain at the northwest corner of the bridge and creek, creating a park and potential trail connections between Emory University and Zonolite Park. The idea for the park began a few years ago, when the Georgia Department of Trans- portation announced plans to replace the bridge on Briarcliff Road. This announcement offered opportunities to improve greenspace and watershed protection in the area. Members of South Fork Conservancy and Druid Hills Civic Association subsequently met over several months with neighbors from Friends of Herbert Taylor Park, Briar Hills, Victoria Estates, and Emory University to explore ideas and opportunities. The outline of suggestions included sidewalks on Briarcliff, access to trails along the creek, and new trails for connecting green space and public parks up and down the South Fork of Peachtree Creek. Neighborhood support led elected officials to explore purchasing the floodplain acres. A design provided by South Fork Conservancy and supported by the group called for a stormwater garden to slow and clean rainwater flowing into the creek, provide access from both sides of Briarcliff Road, and create a trail linking the new park to Herbert Taylor Park across the creek and to Zonolite Park downstream.
